3. Formation of the Agreement
All offers from Richard Dirksen or www.intuitiverunning.store are non-binding and are valid for 14 days (unless otherwise stated). Richard Dirksen or www.intuitiverunning.store is only bound by an offer if the client accepts the offer within the specified period without reservation or change. The prices in the offers include VAT unless otherwise stated. An agreement is concluded when the client accepts the offer without reservation and without changes. Acceptance occurs by signing the offer or by accepting the offer via email or through confirmation on the website. An agreement is also concluded when Richard Dirksen or www.intuitiverunning.store confirms the arrangements with the client in writing or by email and the client does not dispute the accuracy of these arrangements within 10 working days (or before the start of the work). The content of the offer is considered an agreement after acceptance by the client.
4. Execution of the Agreement / Obligation of Effort
Every agreement leads to an obligation of effort for Richard Dirksen or www.intuitiverunning.store, where they are required to fulfill their obligations to the best of their knowledge and ability, with care and the necessary expertise. In all cases where Richard Dirksen or www.intuitiverunning.store deems it necessary, certain work can be carried out by third parties. This will of course be done in consultation with the client. If a term has been agreed upon for the performance of certain work by Richard Dirksen or www.intuitiverunning.store, this is not a strict deadline unless explicitly agreed otherwise. Exceeding the agreed term therefore does not constitute an attributable shortcoming by Richard Dirksen or www.intuitiverunning.store. For this reason, the client cannot dissolve the agreement and has no right to compensation. If the agreed term is exceeded, the client can, however, set a new, reasonable term within which the contractor must perform the agreement. Exceeding this new term may give the client grounds to terminate the agreement. Richard Dirksen or www.intuitiverunning.store is not liable for damage caused by the execution of the agreement.

The payment term is before the start of the seminar, workshop, ‘present-day’, (online) coaching or course, taking into account cancellation periods, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Payment is made as agreed and without deduction, set-off, or suspension for any reason. After the expiry of the payment term or payment agreement, the client is in default. From that moment on, the client owes interest on the due amount at the statutory interest rate. The client’s payment will always first be used to pay due interest and costs. Payment will then be used to pay the invoices that have been outstanding the longest, even if the client states otherwise.
